Debut full length 'The Odyssey' won widespread acclaim, and was followed by a lengthy, lung-bursting series of shows.

Playing more than 200 live performances in 22 countries, it was an epic feat, shifting the way they approach making music in the process.

Heading back into the studio to complete a follow up, Belau are now ready to share their new single 'Essence'.

Blistering electronics set against the soulful cool of Zero 7's very own Sophie Barker, it's a superb, pointed, effortlessly addictive return.

They comment: “Through the song we were trying to capture individual milestones of existence - isolation to freedom, solitude to interaction. Reaching out for the ‘Essence’ is something that worth fighting for.”

The video builds on this, presenting something unique, a colourful world both beguiling and surreal.
